Content
  • Sampling: theorem, interpolation, sequence
  • Sampling rate change: downsampling and interpolation for low-pass signals and bandpass signals, complex envelope
  • Processing structures and graph theory: switching, transposition, direct and polyphase structures
  • Discrete Fourier transform, properties, convolution, truncation and window
  • Finite impulse response filters, phase linearity, types and properties of poles and zeros
  • Synthesis of FIR filters: window method, frequency response sampling, minimax synthesis and Remez method
  • Synthesis of IIR filters by impulse invariance and bilinear transformation
  • Bayesian filtering, Kalman filtering, particle filter, and variants
  • Theory of multiresolution and wavelet transforms (from the Haar system to other wavelets)
  • Compressive sensing: principles and algorithms
  • Numerical exercises in Python related to these topics
Teaching methods
The course is composed of
  • lectures on the topics listed in the course content,
  • and practical sessions, both classical and numerical.
Lectures and practical sessions are given in the classroom exclusively.
 
Evaluation methods
  • Concerning the lectures, the students are individually evaluated with a (in-session) written exam, including problems solving, and questions on the theory.
  • Regarding the numerical exercises on Python, the students are individually evaluated off-session, over two distinct evaluations, in a computer room. Each of these two evaluations are organized only once during the semester.
The written exam and the in-session evaluations amount to 80% and 20% of the final grade, respectively. The note obtained for the numerical exercises is acquired for all sessions of the academic year.
